And Another Try

I had this GREAT plan to make N's costume this year. It all started cuz I saw this chief outfit but it was almost $40 with tax and shipping, but I decided to wait since it was SO MUCH. Well, about a week later I was walking through JoAnn's and saw a pattern for a chief costume. So I figured I could make it no problem. Well, I technically did, but the fabric I used was a little thin, but he can just wear a white shirt under it right. Then I tried it on him and it was a "little" tight, there was no way a shirt was going under it. So off I was to JoAnn's to get more fabric. Thankfully I work in a same strip mall that has one. I cut out all the fabric AGAIN and tonight I'm going to retry it. At lest the pants came out really well the first time. Though in the long run it still ends up being cheaper and it's sort of fun I haven't made any outfits in about 10yrs.

I also have been making M baby food. If I know it was so easy I would have started earlier w/N. So far I have made sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, and carrots. The other day I made nectarines. Those were very sticky when the juice get on you. And today I made pears. During all this I got myself a ricer for the potatoes, and ended up having to get a new blender cuz ours died. So I found this really cute single serve blender at walmart for $15 great price. I used it to make a shake last night and it worked well. Well, for the pears not so much it just minced them up. So I was trying to find something that would work. My mini prep would just do the same thing, so that was out. The ricer did nothing, just squish the juice out. Then I remembered my little hand mixer/blender compo thing. One of the attachments was PERFECT for it. I was so excited. I was laughing at myself cuz I've had the thing the whole time and never thought to use that. Silly silly me!
